Extremal cases of distortion risk measures with partial information (2404.13637v3)

Abstract: This paper considers the best- and worst-case of a general class of distortion risk measures when only partial information regarding the underlying distributions is available. Specifically, explicit sharp lower and upper bounds for a general class of distortion risk measures are derived based on the first two moments along with some shape information, such as symmetry/unimodality property of the underlying distributions. The proposed approach provides a unified framework for extremal problems of distortion risk measures.
